DRINR STATISTICS.
What Americans Take to Slake Their
Thtraf

WAsmSGToS, April 14.-In the quarterly
report OF the chief OF the bureau of statistics
the consumption OF distilled and malt
liquors and wines" and estimates made by
recognized authority Is dwelt upon at some
length. In round numbers the consumption
OF distilled spirits, domestic and imported,
in this country, Is shown to have increased
from 100000 gallons in 1910 to 12,0Oo,OOO In
1886; of wines. from 100000 gallons, to
e., 600. 900, and of malt liquors from 23,ooO,OOO
to Gi2, 2,000, 900. An elaborate statement, made
BY +. n. Barrett, editor of the New York
Grover. by request of the chief of the bureau.
is given, which sets forth. among other
things, that the present average expenditure
in this country per annum for malt and splr-
ituous liquors and beer at retail Is 500, GOD ooO.
The drinking population Is estimated to be
QssG) 14.925.417 making the average, ex-
penditure per capita 1880. Barrett SHOWS
by tables covering five years, from lsS2 TO 1854
inclusive, that the consumption OF spirits Is
decreasing while that of beer Is increasing
ana that there is reduced use of wine as a
beverage. "During this period" he says,
''the consumption of coffee has risen from
eight and two-tenths pounds per capita to
nine and eleven One-hundredths pounds.
DO not these facts show that milder stimu-
lanis are driving out their fiery competitors,
and is il not due to the great agitation oil the
temperance question:

Clifton Hill in Utilization,

Ezra f. Ringer commenced suit in the
District court yesterday against A. p.
Turkey and w. F. Allen to settle ques
ton of partnership in the ownership of
the southeast quarter of the southwest
quarter of section eight, township fifteen,
known as Clifton Hill" The plaintiff
asserts that in January he and the de-
PENDANTS purchased the property of John
A. Creighton, paying part of only of the
purchase price. Later Tukey & Allen
advanced the money to pay for the prop
erty in order to give their customers a
deed to the property. The defendant has
since offered to pay his one-third of the
amount thus advanced, but the defend
ants refuse to accept it. He asks the cour
therefore to cause the defendants to make
an accounting of the lots sold and to give
him third interest in the profits of such
sale and to compel them to execute him
deed for third interest in the unsold
lots.

NELLIE GREEBLE'S GRIEF.
An Illstarred Marriage, an Elopc-
ment and Divorce.

Omaha detectives have been at work
for some days collecting evidence that
will be adduced in n sensational divorce
case soon to be commenced at Nebraska
City. The defendant in the case, the
woman, is now in Omaha, and, Judging
from the evidence which represents the
labors of the detectives, has led strange
life, filled with sensational episodes.
Her name is Mrs. Nellie Greeble. She Is
a young woman, apparently not more
than twenty-five years of age, rathe r
pretty and intelligent. Her story is that
five years ago ut Meadvillc, Pa, where
she lived with her father, who was an
artist, she fell a victim to the wiles of a
furniture dealer named Il. o. Greeble.
She got into trouble and Grceble was
arrested on the charge of having at.
tempted to have an abortion performed
upon her. The case went to the courts
and everything pointed to Greeble's con-
viction, when, in opposition to the ad
vice of her father and attorneys, the
woman married him and thus ended the
prosecution. About four years ago
Greeble and his wife came west and
located at Auburn where Greebe was en-
gagged in the furniture business. They
afterwards removed to Grand Island
where Greeble embarked in saloon
business. About a year ago they
removed to Nebraska City where Greeblo
took charge of the saloon in one of the
hotels. Here, according to the woman's
story, Greeble became negligent of his
duties toward her and finally became
abusive. In her distress of his treatment
she accepted the sympathy and atten-
tions of n barkeeper in Nebraska City
named Mckinney. Their relations grew
into intimacy and about four weeks ago
she consented to elope with Mckinney.
They came to this city where Mckinney
found employment AS bar tender NJ the
Merchants hotel. The neglect from
which the woman suffered at her huS-
bands hands was again visited upon her
while in the role of McKinney's mistress.
He left her at hotel and paid but little
attention to her. She tired of this treat
ment and wrote to her husband IN an eff
fort to affect reconciliation. Grceble,
however, refused to receive the SHINING
and yet snned against woman again but
came to Omaha and put the case in the
hands of the detectives for the purpose of
obtaining material for the divorce pro-
ceedings which he is insttuting at
Nebraska City,

PEOPLE'S THEATER.

Charles Gilday's comedy company
produced their play. "a Piece of Pie, !"
last night to an audience that filled every
available space in the theater. The play
is farcial comedy and is constructed
for laughing purposes and serves that
end admirably. From the beginning to
the finish of the performance the audi
ence was convulsed with laughter: Miss
Fannie Beane is a very catchy and pleas
ing soubrette and as dancer is unex-
celled by any one. Charles Gilday is q
comedian of great merit and resorts to
no buffonery to obtain laughter or ap-
plause from his audiences. He has 2
natural humor and his methods are legit-
innate. The play, "A Piece of Pie" IS
pure and free from all the suggestive
ness which usually characterizes plays of
the farce comedy order and depends
solely upon the situations and ability of
the company to create merriment. The
play will be repeated tonight and will
doubtless draw another large house.

Turnbull Took the Ticker.

j. Nj. Cross. and Nelly Scott we re ar
rested yesterday afternoon and slated
as suspicious characters. Nelly, who
wrestles with the festive sandwich in II
Fourteenth street chop house, it appears,
had possession of watch which she
claimed had been presented to her by a
tin-horn gambler named Hoskns. The
lover became jealous of Nellys partiality
for Cross and had them both arres ted on
the charge of larceny. The case was
called before Judge. Stenberg, who de-
cided that 1t was love affair which did
not merit judicial interference. Hoskins
got possession of the watch to find that
Nelly had succeeded in MASKING the
crystal and breaking off a few OF the
hands. "The watch amt worth $3, as it
is" said Hoskins plaintively. "Pll give
you 50 for it," said Officer Turnbull, who
was in the court "It's 60" replied
Hoskins and the transfer was made and
the case dismissed. Nelly now promises
to replevin the ticker from Officer Turn
